I opened the Rooms screen and found meager quarters in red. how do I determine what is required? does the (S) mean something?

[PatrikLundell]

"Nobles" demand quarters/dining rooms/offices/tombs of varying quality and quantity. You can see these demands on the nobles screen. You can increase the value of a room by smoothing the floor and walls, and further improve it with engravings. Size matters, so a larger room is more valuable than a smaller one with the same improvements. Furniture improves the room value as well, while shared (i.e. overlapping) rooms have a detrimental effect (I believe there are some sharing schemes that yield a net benefit).
Nobles typically demand a certain number of different kinds of furniture as well, but don't care which of their rooms the items are in, so distributing them to spread the value enhancement is a useful strategy.
The Mayor is a "noble" and has some demands, as does the Bookkeeper and Manager (I typically have the same dorf on both roles, saving on rooms). The higher ranking the noble the larger the demands. Just keep adding improvements until the requirements have been met (some traps are very valuable, and so, some players place those in noble rooms to increase their value).

I just added beds to where the carpentry shop and masonry are, and assigned them to the mason and carpenter. Did I do something wrong? Should I unassign them? Thank you for the information

In the <r>ooms list, buildings show up in Red and with an "(S)" indicator if they are shared - that is, if their room area overlaps with at least one other room. It has nothing to do with being of insufficient quality for a Noble.
